Principal’s Welcome

Agenda Replacement Cost

The staff at Cottonwood Middle School would like to welcome you to the 2013-2014 school year. We are excited about the upcoming school year and the opportunity to work collaboratively with you. Each school year brings about many changes. We want to assure you that your child will receive excellent opportunities for growth.

Students must use their agenda as a “Pass” to go to the library, or to go from room to room at times other than normal changing of classes. If a student loses his/her agenda, he/she will be required to purchase a new agenda at the price of $5.

CMS PROGRAM OF STUDIES

Some of you will be anxious regarding the change in school, change in classes and even changes in your child’s attitudes. Rest assured that this is a ‘normal behavioral pattern’ and we are available to assist you through these times. Pre-adolescent students are very capable of respectful and responsible thought and action in their daily routines. Some students will require a great deal of support while others will need very little guidance.

Academic Success & Extracurricular Activities

Vision & Mission Statements

All students participating in district extracurricular or interscholastic athletics will be assessed a $30 minimum participation fee, except for football, which is a $50 fee. Participation in extracurricular activities is based upon cooperation, good sportsmanship and behavior, responsibility and academic eligibility.

“Community of Learners Motivated to Succeed” Cottonwood Middle School provides each student a challenging education in a safe, supportive environment that promotes self-sufficiency in a community of life long learners motivated to succeed.

Grades will be checked on a cumulative basis at the end of each three (3) week period. If a student has one (1), or more failing grades and/or two (2), or more D’s; the student will be deemed ineligible for a minimum of three (3) weeks until the next three week grade check. Upon improvement demonstrating he/she is passing on a cumulative basis, the student shall be reinstated to the team(s) or extracurricular activities until a subsequent check is performed. Students who are ineligible for any two (2) eligibility checks will be

progress. Teachers are expected to post grades on Family Link no less than every two weeks.

A student may also be deemed ineligible for other reasons than academic performance. If a student is absent or removed from school for reasons other than a specific prearranged appointment, he/she is NOT allowed to participate in any school activities on that day. This includes, but is not limited to dances, extracurricular activities and field trips, etc.

Promotion/Retention: Students are expected to make passing grades in their courses (D or higher). Students who do not successfully complete their classes will be considered candidates for retention. A student must pass three of the four quarters in each of the core subjects in order to be promoted to the next grade level.

Dance Eligibility: Prior to each school dance, student eligibility will be checked. Students with a failing grade (F) will not be eligible to attend.

National Junior Honor Society (NJHS): NJHS is a national organization open to CMS students who meet the organization’s guidelines. Membership is open to students in grades 6-8. Students may apply for membership in January of their 6th grade year. Inductions are held in September and January each year. Selection is based on five criteria: citizenship, service, leadership, scholarship and character. Members must maintain a high grade point average (the national minimum is a 3.0) and become good citizens (by participating in service projects). The NJHS requires school service to the community, school, or other organizations. These projects help students meet the required yearly service hours. The CMS chapter has a limit of 25 members per year.

Homework: Most classes will assign homework on a regular basis. Most students will have between 1 to 1 1/2 hours of homework each school night. Homework is a portion of the class grade. Homework is due when indicated. Full credit is not to be expected for late work. Honor Roll: Students with A’s and B’s for the quarter will be listed on the honor roll. Students with all A’s will be listed with highest distinction, Principal’s Honor Roll. Make-Up Work: When a student is absent, it is his/her responsibility to ask the teacher for make-up work and the acceptable timeline for completion. Students shall have at least one day for each day of excused absence. Long-term projects and previously assigned work that was due upon the day the student was absent, will be due upon the student’s return.

Clubs and Activities

Parent Conference: Each year the district schedules two formal conferences for parents. Your child should be present at these conferences. However, parents may request a conference anytime throughout the school year by contacting the office. The teacher will return your call to schedule an appointment with you. Report Cards: Are sent home at the conclusion of each quarter (9 weeks). Quarter grades are used to decide promotion/retention and honor roll status. Progress Reports: Are sent home at the designated midpoint of the quarter, which is every 4 1/2 weeks. Parents can access Family Link via the District website at www.cocsd.k12.az.us click on the ‘Parent’ tab at the top of the page. To access Family Link, please call the CMS Front Office 634-2231 to obtain your child’s PIN Number and Student ID Number. This will allow you to monitor your child’s academic

GENERAL INFORMATION Arrival & Dismissal Times: Students are to arrive on campus for the beginning of school NO EARLIER than 8:00 a.m. This is for their safety as there is no supervision until this time. The cafeteria opens at 8:00 a.m. If your child must be dropped off early; they are to report immediately to the cafeteria. The school day 3

begins at 8:35 a.m. ends at 3:35 p.m. Every Wednesday students will be dismissed 2:25 p.m., to allow teachers to participate in professional learning communities/trainings.

15 days, a student may be placed on a truancy contract. If a student continues to be habitually absent, the parents and the student maybe cited to the juvenile court system.

Attendance: Attendance is vital to academic success. Adherence to the school attendance policy is the responsibility of parents and students. Unauthorized absence will not be taken lightly.

Leaving School Early: Parents/guardians must sign their child out in the office. The office secretary will call your child to the office for you. Please do not go to the classroom to pick up your child. Teachers are NOT allowed to release students without a call from the office. This is for your child’s safety.

District Attendance Policy: All students sixteen years old or younger are required by law to attend school every day. The ultimate legal responsibility for school attendance (ARS 15-803) rests with parents and students, with the school assisting to fulfill that responsibility. Reasonable attempts will be made by the school through telephone calls and/or mail to inform parents/guardians of student absenteeism. Each student is allowed to accumulate five (5) absences during any one nine-week grading period. No more than 20 days in a school year. CMS will be tracking attendance very closely. Your child is expected to be at school every day unless there is an excused reason not to be. An absence is defined as a minimum of one missed class per period per day. An unexcused absence will count as a truant day as defined by law. A student is “habitually truant” if he/she has five or more unexcused absences from school or is absent more than ten percent or 18 days of the required number of school days per year whether the absence is excused or unexcused. Students absent for medical reasons, bereavement and/or prearranged special circumstances may be exempt from this requirement with proper documentation. A student will be allowed one day to make-up missed work for each day of absence. The regulation (J-131.1) and forms for attendance waivers are available in the school office.

Custody Issues: It is the responsibility of the parent to notify the school office in writing and maintain the proper documentation whenever a custody problem would change a parent’s ability to check a student out of school. CMS is a Closed Campus: Students will not be allowed to leave the school grounds for lunch or during school hours unless accompanied by a parent or guardian. Student Withdrawal: According to A.R.S 15-803, a student must be withdrawn from school records after ten (10) consecutive unexcused absences. If you need to withdraw your child from school, please come to the school office. The secretary will process the necessary paperwork for you. Visitors: All visitors must report to the office before entering any portion of the campus. Visitors are to sign in and wear a Visitor pass during their stay on campus. Student visitors are not allowed to attend class on our campus. Flower, Balloons and Present Deliveries: CMS will NOT accept deliveries of flowers, balloons and presents during school hours as it is an interference with the instructional day.

Absences: Call the CMS Office at 634-2231 to report your child’s absence. If no telephone contact has been made and the student fails to bring a note, the student will be marked with an unexcused absence and may be reported to legal authorities. Missing school without a valid excuse is truancy.

Emergency Plan Our District has worked with the Yavapai County Schools Office and adopted an Emergency Plan in accordance with the county and state guidelines. Administrators and staff have received varying levels of training which outline possible Emergencies and Procedures on how to safely and effectively respond to them. Students receive training and practice evacuations for different types of Emergencies including bus and fire on a regular basis.

Unexcused Absences: Students forfeit daily class grades for all unexcused absences. Disciplinary action can be assigned to students who are truant; i.e., detention (detainment after school hours) or In-School Alternative Program (ALC) placement. After 10 excused or 5 unexcused absences we may require an official doctor, dental, court, or funeral notice. After 4

Playground Guidelines



Spandex-leggings or tights are not allowed.



All skirts, dresses and shorts must be knee length – reaching to just above the knees when in a standing position.



Oversized apparel, including baggy/ sagging pants is not allowed, all pants must be worn no lower than the hips.



Jeans with holes, frays, tears above the knee are not allowed. (Fashion-designed or otherwise) (Boys & Girls)

Students are expected to follow the CMS guidelines about dress. There is considerable evidence to indicate a close relationship between student dress and student behavior. Students will not dress or groom themselves in a manner that, in the judgment of the school administrator, presents a risk to the health, safety or general welfare of the student, or other students or staff, or that is counterproductive to the district’s educational objectives.



Sunglasses, hairnets, bandanas, or ‘do-rags’ are not allowed.



Chains or spike jewelry of any kind are not allowed. Jewelry shall not display lewd, vulgar, obscene, plainly offensive language or symbols such as “I (heart) Boobies” bracelets.



Cosmetics that give the student a disturbing or distracting appearance are not allowed.

Any article of clothing, accessory, or cosmetics extreme enough to create a distraction, or disturb the normal routine of school, shall be deemed inappropriate. A final decision on the appropriateness of school dress will be determined by the administration. Continued failure to comply with the CMS dress code guidelines will be considered an insubordinate act and will be treated as such. The sound judgment of parents and students will most often avoid the problem with extreme costumes, fad dress, insufficient or inappropriate attire present in a wholesome school environment.



Hair color or style which draws undue attention and causes a disruption in the school shall not be permitted. (Designated Spirit Days are the exception.)



Dress Code includes, but is not limited to the following:

Clothing that endorses or implies gang affiliation or the use of substances not legally available to minors; or containing ethnic or gender slurs; or having profane, violent, inhumane, or sexual connotations is not permitted. No ICP (Insane Clown Posse) or other groups associated with gangs will be permitted.

BEHAVIORAL EXPECTATIONS

3. On the 3rd offense the student will spend two (2) days in ALC. 4. After the 4th offense the student will be suspended from school for one day.

At CMS, we believe in logical consequences for actions. Students at CMS are encouraged to develop the habits of self-reliance and self-restraint.

Parents are required to sign the form at every level of the offense.

Each teacher will establish his/her limit setting for the classroom and discuss the expectations with the students during the first few days of school. It is in the student’s best interest that we work together, parent and staff, to support appropriate behavior in the classroom and on campus. Teachers and/or principal/assistant principal will be available to discuss questions you may have concerning student behavior.

Cell Phones Form New forms of harassment and bullying using cell phones have surfaced. Parents will be notified each time a student is in violation of this policy (JFCA). CMS has devised a step plan for cell phone and other electronic devices used inappropriately.

Bullying-Teasing-Threatening Form

1. A student violating the school cell phone policy will have his/her cell phone/electronic devices confiscated to be picked up from administration by a parent. 2. The second time the student will be assigned one (1) lunch detention in Alternative Learning Center (ALC) and the phone/device will need to be picked up from administration by a parent. 3. The third violation the student will be spend one (1) day in ALC and the phone/electronic device will need to be picked up from administration by a parent. 4. After the fourth visit to the office for violating school policy a meeting with a parent and administration will be held to develop a plan and determine the future consequences.

These offenses, including name-calling and harassing, can leave permanent emotional scars. Teasing/bullying/threatening has become serious ongoing problem at schools in the past few years. For the safety and well-being of our students, the following plan will be followed: 1. A student bullying/harassing another student verbally will be sent to the office for a first warning. 2. The 2nd offense will result in one (1) day in the ALC (Alternative Learning Center-Time Out) room. 3. The 3rd offense will result in two (2) days in the ALC room. 4. After the 4th offense, the student will be suspended from school. (Some types of teasing/bullying could merit off campus suspension.) Parents are required to sign the form at every level of the offense.

Parents are required to sign the form at every level of the offense.

Due Process Students in our schools have rights. They also have the responsibility to respect the rights and property of others. If a student fails to do this, disciplinary action will follow. In all situations, all students are entitled to due process. This means all students:

DISCIPLINE POLICY (Policy JK/JK-R/JK-ED)

1. Be informed of accusations against them. 2. Have the opportunity to accept or deny the accusations. 3. Have explained to them the factual basis for the accusations. 4. Have a chance to present an alternative factual position if accusation is denied.

Disciplinary consequences are progressive for most infractions. Depending upon the nature of the violation, student discipline shall be progressive, i.e., generally, a student’s first violation should merit a lighter penalty than subsequent violations. Engages in conduct that is disorderly, i.e., intentionally causing public inconvenience, annoyance, or alarm, or recklessly creating a risk thereof, by:
